Father's Day Part 1

The day before Father's Day we ventured into Wisconsin with Nimmy (Charlie's name for Grammy) and Pops to the Wisconsin Auto Museum. Pops and Kenny can think of no better way to spend a day than exploring cars, so since they are the Fathers....we went with. It was without very many other patrons, which proved to be good for our little almost two year old. He's not quite clear about the behavior one should have in a museum...but we are working on it.

On the way up there, Charlie was in heaven watching the "actors" (tractors), "tocos" (motorcycles) and "ans" (planes) as we traveled through the back roads of Wisconsin.

Off to explore with Pops and Daddy.

Watching the wonderful model train.

Nimmy trying to sneak another hug in. Train watching is serious business Nimmy!

Pops explaining the fine art of model trains.

This picture won't load right, but it's a truck Nash, which Kenny has never seen and even more interesting is it says Metzler on it...one of Kenny's cousin's last names.

"Mama, Nimmy, are you coming with us?"

Learning with Nimmy and Pops.

Working on an engine.

We ended the day down the street the Mineshaft restaurant - Wisconsin's largest. It was yummy!

About Me

Kenny and I have been married since November 2005. We have an amazing little boy, Charlie, that joined our family in June 2008. Kenny had the majority of a brain tumor removed in August 2008. That medical experience changed our lives for the better and we know now what really matters the most. We both love to travel and love to read but most of all we love to spend time together. Michelle loves shopping for bargains, cooking and getting a few moments to relax. Kenny loves cars and all other things engine powered. He has passed that love to little Charlie. Charlie loves to play with cars and trucks, read books and make his parents proud. I write this to record our family moments.
